The Journey to York Jam 2013
Two weeks ago I (Louis) took a trip to York, PA to experience my first official York Jam. As a flatlander it is one of the things you're supposed (unofficially) to do, go to a York Jam. Why is the York Jam important? Well for one thing it's where the Dorkin' In York series originated back in 1988. Kevin Jones and Mark Eaton came up with the idea to make a BMX video with the DIY sense of style. There are ten videos all together. They were a mixture of flatland/street/vert/park/dirt, you know name it, it was in there. I'm only 24 and I have watched these videos almost religiously. I was introduced to Dorkin' In York by my friend Rodney Moreweiser when I was 17 and I've been hooked ever since.
Kevin Jones is basically the guy who invented modern flatland. He was away ahead of his time and still is to this day. A lot of flatlanders have gone to York ever since they started having the York Jam back in 1991 and I felt like it was time for me to finally go to an official York Jam. I've been to a fall York Jam, but it just wasn't the same.

Alex Bodnar Bike Check
Alex recently went under knee surgery and is resting with his time off. So I thought why not shoot him an e-mail and see what his set up is like these days. He's got a super clean ride and has been running a freecoaster before it became the latest fad. Check out the parts he is riding after the jump.

Kyle Olinger Bike Check
Kyle is next up in our bike check list. Kyle can 3-whip a box like no other and loves to keep his bike absolutely dialed. See what he is riding and why he still runs a gyro unlike many other riders after the jump.
